As to the advisability of establishing q

when SO many men who can construct

selves born journalists, perhaps a
little preliminary instruction would
not be amiss. But, after all. journal
ism is the science Of contemporary
history, and the best preparatory in
struetion is in the school of current
events.
The Chicago Inter Ocean expresses
this fact pretty well when it says: "a
school of journalism? Hum, yes.
But by the midnight FIRE and the muir
der in the slums; beside the police
judge in the divorce court, with the
rummiest politician and at the ball Of
my lady; between the wheels of trade
and the roar of thousand industries;
wherever man is at his best and worst,
where he worships God and courts the
devil, there is journalism's kinder
garten, there you will learn the alpha
bet. For, what is journalism? The
lesson Of Tomorrow is the story of to-
day."

Contractors Pass Resolutions not to
Yield TO the Carpenters Demand
for Nine-HOur Day.
Strikers Hold Out for Their Point, and
Are Working for Converts on
ALI Sides.
The Situation Serious, for Building AL
Over the City is Practically at
a Standsti!l.
What Both Sides Have to Say On the
Issue, and Its Effects---To-
Nights Meeting.

No indications of weakening are ap-
parent among the striking carpenters.
They seem determined to hold out as long
as there is dollar leftin the treasures of
the three unions of this city, or in the
pockets of the union men. AT the meet
ing of the German union last night, Mr..
Mcclure, president of the American
union, gave the assurance that there was
S7G0 i'll the treasury of his union, all of
which could be used, except 500, ac-
cording to the language of their char
ter. He encouraged all the strikers
to hold out, and informed both union
and n0n-union men that when any Strik-
ing carpenters became in need of assist
ance, the pockets of all who possessed
funds were at their disposal. Quite a
number OF men packed up their tools
yesterday and left the city, some going
out on the Northern Pacific and others
to Duluth. A few carpenters, however,
have arrived from Milwaukee, and some
others from Eastern cities. So far there
has been no trouble, and no manifesto
tons Of violence, and no details of police
have been sent to any job. The con-
tractors say that what men are working
do rot want to strike, and the strikers
predict that hardly a carpenter will be
left working by tomorrow if the con-
tractors continue to be stubborn, and
every other building trade will have to
come out.
